The future of the circular economy lies in Brazil - and Ecobraz

The importance of the circular economy in Brazil

The circular economy has been consolidated as a fundamental model for sustainable development and efficient resource management in Brazil. As established in the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010), the country has made progress in implementing practices that promote the reduction, reuse, recycling and proper disposal of waste, aligning itself with global sustainability goals.

Legal context and regulatory challenges

Law No. 12.305/2010 instituted shared responsibility for the life cycle of products, which involves manufacturers, importers, distributors, traders, consumers and holders of public services for urban cleaning and solid waste management (PL nº 12.305/2010). The National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR) (sinir.gov.br) works to integrate data and support efficient policies, but selective collection still faces logistical and awareness barriers.

Ecobraz's strategic role in the recycling chain

For the concrete advancement of the circular economy, Ecobraz's work has stood out as a key element in the specialized management of electronic waste. The company promotes rigorous collection, processing and final disposal practices, in accordance with current environmental standards. The use of technological solutions to control and track materials adds security and transparency to the process.

Specialized collection followed by safe disposal

The management of electronic waste, especially that with sensitive components, requires controlled processes. Ecobraz offers adequate e-waste collection services, guaranteeing compliance with the environmental standards stipulated by CETESB (cetesb.sp.gov.br) and SINIR. In addition, for the safe disposal of digital media, including hard drives, the organization employs methods that ensure data protection and compliance with information security legislation.

Contribution to reducing environmental impact and fostering innovation

The processes adopted contribute to reducing the volume of waste inappropriately disposed of in landfills, minimizing soil and water contamination. The valorization of recovered materials boosts the domestic recyclables market and fosters technological innovation, in line with the guidelines of the National Solid Waste Policy.

Conclusion: sustainability and competitiveness on the agenda

Brazil has legislation and tools to boost the circular economy, but its success depends on the integration of public policies, private management and the engagement of society. Ecobraz represents an evolution in this scenario, combining environmental responsibility with advanced technological management practices. Thus, the future of the circular economy in Brazil depends on a strong dedication to improving these strategies.
